Porn is no longer the number one activity on the Internet. It may be hard to believe, but according to a recent study of the surfing habits of 10 million people by Bill Tancer, a researcher at Hitwise (an Internet tracking company), time spent on social-networking sites has surpassed time spent 'browsing' adult entertainment pages. Searches for pornography have dropped to account for 10-percent of Web searches, down from 20-percent a decade ago.

Some other interesting tidbits from the study, which have also been compiled into Tancer's new book Click: What Millions of People Are Doing Online and Why It Matters:

Based on their searching habits, people seem to have the most fears around elbows (seriously), belly button lint, ceiling fans, social intimacy and rejection. Searches for anti-depressant drugs spike around Thanksgiving. Searches for images of Sarah Palin are popular, but searches for her stance on issues are nowhere near the top.


What Are Web Surfers' Biggest Fears? (Hint: It's Not Porn)

This is a surprise porn is NOT #1 hey but times are a changing.

Mine running into aliens and will this country get back on it's feet. What's yours.
